Given roles and expectations of father involvement in South Korea are in transition from traditional breadwinner to an involved caregiver to children, it is plausible that Korean fathers show diverse involvement behaviors in the contexts of work, family, and parenting. Using a person-centered approach, we explored if there were groupings of Korean fathers who could be identified from their involvement with their children. We also examined if those subgroup memberships were related to various factors in work, family, and parenting domains. With a sample of 212 married working fathers and the 12 items of involvement behaviors, we found four heterogeneous subgroups of people: low-involved, accessibility-focused, involved-but-less-accessible, and highly involved fathers. Significant differences among the four profiles were also found regarding various factors such as job stress, work and family conflict, work schedule, maternal employment, parenting satisfaction, and perceived level of involvement. Suggestions for future research, practitioners, and policymakers were discussed.

鉴于韩国父亲参与的角色和期望正在从传统的养家糊口者转变为参与照顾孩子的人，韩国父亲在工作、家庭和养育子女的背景下表现出不同的参与行为是合理的。使用以人为本的方法，我们探索了是否有韩国父亲可以从他们与孩子的参与中识别出来的分组。我们还检查了这些亚组成员身份是否与工作、家庭和育儿领域的各种因素有关。通过 212 位已婚工作父亲的样本和 12 项参与行为，我们发现了四个异质亚群：低参与、关注可及性、参与但不太可及和高度参与的父亲。在工作压力、工作和家庭冲突、工作时间安排、母亲就业、育儿满意度和感知参与程度等各种因素方面，这四种情况也存在显着差异。讨论了对未来研究、从业者和政策制定者的建议。
